I'm not a huge fan of smoked sausage, but this salad was still really good. The dressing is amazing and the pasta is cooked perfectly.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I like to add a little bit of extra garlic to the dressing, and sometimes I'll throw in some chopped bell pepper or zucchini. Yum!
